I…made so much progress today on the house projects. Like…SO MUCH progress.

I woke up and started early. Like, super early, because I’d not been getting enough stuff done starting at around 7:30. I needed to get started earlier. And I was running out of time. I still am…but after today, not so much. We made INSANE progress. The backyard is in great shape now for the party. We started work on the shed, and should finish it tomorrow morning. Those two things are literally what has kept me up at night, stressed out over whether or not I’d be able to finish them.

Whew!

Thanks are in enormous part to my brother Scott, who helped so massively today, I can’t even express. His help single-handedly moved the needle from panic zone to ‘we got this.’ Thank you, bro. The house is taking a MASSIVE leap forward this week thanks to you.

Tomorrow, we finish the shed, move in the stuff that’s supposed to go in there, and clean up that little bit of the landscaping. If we have time, maybe we move around some stuff like the fire pit, seating, etc. But, it’s supposed to rain tomorrow night and into the morning on Saturday, so not too much I don’t think. We’ll see. Really hoping the precipitation is light and doesn’t ruin out outdoor movie plans at all. Crossing my fingers on that one.

But, literally…I’m in position to finish everything I wanted and needed to. The weather even cooperated this morning and it was cool waaaayyyy later in the morning than usual. We worked until 10:30. It was glorious.

Night night.
